How to make Baked Chicken with an Italian Dressing Seasoning Packet

As a 5-ingredient dinner idea, this baked chicken and vegetables dish is super easy to make. Prep the chicken and veggies, season, and bake! This is a zesty homemade meal full of good protein and yummy vegetables that your family will love!

Ingredients for Italian Chicken with green beans and potatoes

  • 2 pounds of chicken breast, cut to 1-2″ cubes
    • Two pounds of chicken is around two large chicken breasts.
    • We prefer to cube them so then the chicken chunks are easily eaten later without much cutting up for younger kids. If you leave them whole I would pound them to be all the same thickness or butterfly them(cut them in half horizontal) so they are the same thickness. The chicken cooks more evenly this way.
  • 4 cups of red potatoes, cleaned with bad spots cut out and cut to about 1/2″ cubes
  • 1 bag of frozen whole green beans
  • 1- 0.7oz Italian salad dressing seasoning packet
  • 1/2 cup butter, 1 stick divided into 8 slices
  • 9×13-inch baking dish
The ingredients for this Italian chicken, green beans and potato dish: Cubed chicken breast and red potatoes, a bag of frozen whole green beans, 1 stick of butter and an Italian salad dressing seasoning packet with a 9x13-inch baking pan.

Directions for Italian Chicken, Green Beans, and Potatoes

First, line the side of the 9×13-inch baking dish with green beans and then the other side of the pan with the cubed potatoes. Then place the chicken between the green beans and potatoes. There can be some overlapping.

Can you use different vegetalbes in this Italian Chicken Bake?

Yes, this baked chicken dish is very versatile. We like to use green beans or broccoli however, try cauliflower, carrots, or asparagus too. While frozen and fresh vegetables seem to work best, canned green beans work but will be on the soft side once baked.

What different types of potatoes can you use in the Italian Chicken, Green Beans and Potatoes recipe?

Red Potatoes are our favorite. We love the neutral flavor and how they practically melt in your mouth when baked. Yukon Gold potatoes are another good choice. They are very similar to red potatoes and have a more buttery flavor. Lastly, Russet potatoes work well too. They are low in moisture making for a light and fluffier potato when baked but, keep in mind Russet potatoes tend to take longer to bake.

The best practice is to cut your preferred potatoes into the same size cube around 1/2 inch. This will ensure that they all bake at the same rate no matter what kind of potato you choose. Then, double-check to make sure they are done by piercing one of the bigger potatoes with a fork. Potatoes that are done are easily pierced(or fall apart) with a fork.
